The Great Artesian Spa will share with you a secret locals have known for years: a soak in our mineralized artesian waters is relaxing for the body and therapeutic for the soul.

Across the world and throughout the ages people have traveled great distances to seek natural mineral waters. Whole communities have grown and prospered by tapping into these healthy natural springs and spas. Here in Mitchell we have recognized the value of our own mineral water from the Great Artesian Basin and have created a unique experience - The Great Artesian Spa.

The Great Artesian Spa comprises two large pools of artesian water. The spa has been designed for easy access, which includes a hydro chair for those who have restricted mobility.

One of the pools has naturally heated waters from the Great Artesian Basin which is maintained at a comfortable temperature designed to relax tired muscles, ease tension and revitalize both body and mind. The other pool is designed for those who prefer a cooler experience. 

Our comment from FitFit Australia about Great Artesian Spa:

The Great Artesian Spa is a fantastic destination for relaxation, featuring two contrasting pools that offer an unforgettable experience. With a hot pool temperature of approximately 39°C and a cooler pool around 20°C, guests can enjoy the rejuvenating benefits of alternating between the two. The spa is not only about the waters; it boasts a welcoming atmosphere created by friendly and helpful staff dedicated to providing excellent customer service.

Visitors have praised the cleanliness of the facilities, including ample changing rooms and well-maintained amenities. The on-site café serves delicious food and great coffee, making it a perfect stop for both a hearty meal and a soothing dip. Customers consistently recommend the spa for its reasonable prices, with entry fees and menu items offering great value.

While many enjoy their visits, some guests have expressed concerns regarding the chlorine levels in the water, which are necessary for health standards. Additionally, occasional issues with water temperatures have been noted, but the staff are committed to resolving these to ensure a quality experience. Overall, the Great Artesian Spa is highly recommended for anyone traveling through the area, offering a delightful escape and a chance to unwind in a beautifully maintained setting.

Great Artesian Spa
Great Artesian Spa

Hey Leigh, thanks for the great review. We strive to give our visitors a great experience and are so glad that you enjoyed your time with us. The sub zero temperatures have played unfortunately played havoc with our heaters causing them to freeze overnight with a consequential drop in pool temperature which takes us most of the day to recover. We are in discussions with the owner of the facility in search of a workaround for this problem as it tends to plague us from time to time when the weather graces us with those cold temperatures.

Toni Purdy 1 year ago

Negative experience: Having visited this spa last year and enjoyed my visit, I went again today. What a disappointment. Why? The so-called artesian spa which would normally be healthy minerals was over chlorinated. So much so that my skin still smells of chlorine even after a shower at the facility. Don't kid yourself. Warm it may be but a mineral spa? I think not with all that chlorine.

Great Artesian Spa
Great Artesian Spa

Hey Toni, we were so sorry to hear of your recent unpleasant experience at the Great Artesian Spa. Obviously, we strive to ensure that all our visitors have the absolute best experience but very occasionally we will have something go wrong and we truly appreciate feedback and comments which alert us to potential problems. We are required by State Health Legislation to keep a (small) level of chlorine in our pools to ensure that there is no possibility of the presence of water borne pathogens. Normally, this is undetectable however, recently, a malfunction in our automated dosing system occasioned a temporary brief rise in free chlorine levels resulting in the chlorine smell you experienced. While the levels were still within safe operating guidelines (we carry out water tests 5 times daily at a minimum) it certainly did diminish the amenity of the spas while we rectified the problem and brought the levels back to the target range. We have since been monitoring the levels closely to avoid any repeat of the problem. Fortunately, the mineral content of the great artesian water remains basically stable in any case.

Fantastic experience: Passed through here when driving back to Brisbane from Charleville and it was amazing. Highly recommend after sitting in the hot pool for 10-15mins go straight into the cold pool. It'll feel freezing at first but it eventually feels great and your body feels amazing afterward. The day we went the hot pool was 38-39 degrees and the cold was 16-17 degrees. This place was definitely worth the stop.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fabulous I took my Dad here as he loves the hot mineral spas at Moree. The hot pool was around 39 degrees Celsius. Standing under the hot water pouring into the pool was like a hot massage ‍♀️. The cold pool is only 16 degrees Celsius. Our first visit I could only stay in for 10 minutes... before needing a break and a drink. There is a horn that sounds every 15 minutes to have remind us to take a break. The next day, I could easily do 15 minutes before needing a break. We stayed for about an hour each visit. I wish there were more artesian spas located around Queensland. Would highly recommend visiting. A nice Cafe, clean, bathrooms big and clean and also serves as the information centre.

BBL 2 years ago

Negative experience: This is a small facility with one small heated pool and one cool pool. Neither are very large. The Artesian water is pumped from another area and heated here. $10.00 entry per person to sit in a crowed pool, that feels artificial is not for me.

Great Artesian Spa
Great Artesian Spa

Thanks for your feedback BBL. We were dissapointed that your visit to the Great Artesian Spa did not fulfill your expectations. As a Not For Profit community organisation we operate the Spa to attract visitors to Mitchell to stimulate the local economy. Our pricing is reflective of the cost of operating the facility to the highest standards of safety and customer service. These are really only break even prices but they do enable us to provide employment for 10 people in a small rural town which has been battered by local government amalgamation and years of drought.

Positive experience: The staff were all so friendly and helpful, even stashing our meat from the butcher in the fridge during our stay. Yes the water took a while to come up to temp, and it'd be great if there were some spa jets around the seated areas in the hot pool, but in all it was lovely. Special mention must be made of the cafe. Absolutely delicious food at very reasonable prices, and that's how they get the crowds in. We don't often attend cafes as they are generally overpriced for what you get, but this was the exception. Thank you ladies, you all did a great job!

The advent of Covid 19 has brought particular emphasis to ensuring we maintain that level at all times. Your comments are however appreciated and understood.

Fantastic experience: I loved this place, a lovely stop on our travels. We left roma on our way to Charleville and stopped off after told about this place by a neighbour. The pools were lovely, plenty of changing room area and the Cafe was great! Delicious coffee and great value food menu, I had the Thai fish cakes which were lovely, husband a toasted sandwich and kids banana bread and pikelets. All delicious and i can't believe how cheap! Lovely vibes and friendly staff!! Worth popping in if your passing by.

Hey Liz, thank you for posting us such a great review given our water problems. The loss of water temperature has been caused by record low water consumption in Mitchell as a result of the unseasonally cold and wet winter thus far. This has meant that the hot bores, which are our primary heat source, are only operating spasmodically to keep up with demand allowing the reticulation system to cool off in the downtime. Compounding that, the extended run of sub-zero temperatures has caused our supplementary heaters to fail during the night hours once again causing a significant loss of water temperature. It has been quite devastating for our staff who work tirelessly to provide everyone with a great experience. No doubt it is even worse for our loyal customers who have driven great distances to enjoy the Spa only to find the water being so much cooler than usual. Fortunately, Maranoa Regional Council has expedited the installation of additional supplementary heating which is being fitted as I write. Spa staff are also working on ways to prevent the overnight failure of the existing heaters so, we expect to be back to offering lovely hot water very soon.

Hey Glenice, thanks for the great review. While I know the staff would have explained the cool water at the moment, with your indulgence I would like to add some up to date information.

Fantastic experience: It closes at 6pm in winter, 7pm in summer. We were too late for it this time. Though, I've enjoyed it in past trips and highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: It really was a relaxing time in the warmer spa. Had to keep resetting timer every 15 mins.

Positive experience: Terrific facility let down by the fact that the spa was simply not hot due I am told by a sudden overnight drop in ambient temoerature which did not allow the pool to rise to its normal heat during the day. This did not help us as we had travelled from Roma and were very disappointed. Food, cleanliness and staff all 1st class.
